georoute calculates the georouting distance between two addresses or two geographical points identified by their coordinates. It uses the HERE API (see https://developer.here.com) to retrieve distances in two steps. In the first step, addresses are geocoded and their geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) are obtained. In the second step, the georouting distance between the two points is obtained. The user can also directly provide geographical coordinates, which will bypass the first step.
